Looks sick once it’s set up

I was the opposite, it looked sick in the photos but looked so odd in real life at first 😂

@@LeonPaxton haha, to me it looked odd in photos. lol also... probably not the easiest thing to skate, I have a few boards like that Ill buy em to have them for the shape. but doesn't it skate super easy no. lol use it as a cruiser would be sick, with big wheels soft

That's a good idea actually! I might just set this thing up as a cruiser instead lol

I noticed that too and there is less chance for your board to flip when you don't want it to (trying 360 shuvs & big spins) since the tail is more flat and less rounded! Haha thanks, I'm going deep into the madness hole here 😂

Thanks dude! Yeah you can definitely afford to move your front truck up but it compromised my tail for sure moving my back truck further out lol

Wow you sound like me. I can ride whatever now. Just nothing to light. And I’ll be ok. Heavy for me works

Yeah dude, the madness is real at the moment 😂 Hopefully I can find the right set up or just stop caring about it lol

@@LeonPaxton the videos are sick bro! Your channel has taught me so much

Thanks so much man, glad I can help!

@@LeonPaxton keep trying the new boards tho! It’s so sick, for me I found what wheelbase works best regardless of board size, I think 😂 I still need to try a few more boards

Thanks dude, appreciate that a lot 🙏🏼 Yeah man, that's probably the average specs that most boards are made to for sure

Haha thanks dude! The shuv out definitely felt good 🙌🏼

Yeah dude, they are so fun! They have a lot of different sized boards so you could definitely find one to suit your current truck size 👌🏼

I'm starting to prefer wheel wells on my decks more and more now lol

Facts. It’s like Brian Anderson he’s so tall he rides 9in board with 15wheelbase

Yeah dude, that's exactly why! It just feels more comfortable to me because of my size for sure

Sick! Did it feel weird having a longer tail though?

@@LeonPaxton it felt easier and a lot more comfortable. like the difference between a race car and a lincoln

Yeah I thought about that but I'm enjoying my wide turning lol Oh sick dude, I'll check them out for sure. Thanks!

I love hurricanes!

Yeah dude, I'm going deep down the hole at the moment 😂 I've heard good things about that Welcome board! I'm looking at trying one of them out myself soon 🤔 Damn, hopefully you come across the perfect board for you soon 🤞🏽

@@LeonPaxton Just got the Anti-hero Ten curbmandments deck and its hands down my most favorite board so far in all my board madness. Basically a Welcome Golem shape but slightly bigger. I think its the same as the green giant just in a different graphic. So far my most favorite non symmetrical board, absolutely love it.

I feel like i revert in the air last second to get around into it 😂

Oh sick! I feel like the double shovel might feel more natural in a way than this hybrid shape does 🤔

yeah dude, they are sick! I'm on the Ace AF1's at the moment too and am liking the turn a lot on these as well 🙌🏼

Thanks so much man, appreciate that a lot! Haha all good! I was running 9" trucks on that bad boy 👌🏼 That 9" eagle deck is so good!

Cheers man, my 169s should be perfect then. I love it, re-learning to skate after 17 years (never learned much the first time) and that orange eagle is the first deck ever that I felt was big enough for me. I'm a big guy too, 6'6, no wonder 7.75s always felt like kids boards 😂

Yeah they will be sweet 👌🏼 Haha yeah I still trip out when I step on a homies 8" board, they feel so tiny these days lol

Nah dude, I didn't get any wheel bite at all but I'm skating Slappy trucks which have the best turn without getting wheel bite so maybe the trucks helped me a lot with that

Cool. Thanks!@@LeonPaxton

Thanks dude, I'll go check them out now 🙏🏼

@@LeonPaxton I don’t know if they have them on the website anymore but they have them on the Shop app. Also solid video as always!

Ok sweet, I'll have a look man. Thanks! Thanks heaps man, thanks for watching 🙏🏼

Oh dude, that madness is real! Yeah I can see that actually, your 360 flips would take more effort now with a longer wheelbase. I don't know if it's true or not but I've heard that some April boards come with a bigger tail than nose and a lot of their riders even skate their boards backwards because they want the bigger kick at the front 🤔 Damn, hopefully you can find something with the right width & wheelbase combo you need! I'm still on the hunt myself lol Thanks dude! 🙏🏼

Oh dude, Slappy trucks are something else! They are literally my favourite trucks that I've had in years lol I've just set up some Ace AF1 Hollows recently just to see if riding lighter trucks will help me since I'm always riding such big boards but I'll be looking to try the Slappy Hollows next for sure 🙌🏼

I feel like the double shovel would almost feel more natural than this hybrid shape lol 🤔

For sure man! I'm just waiting for that one to come to Aus so I don't have to pay so much for shipping 😅

Oh sick, how did it feel with a longer tail?

i like long tails so felt "normal" @@LeonPaxton

I've got a video dropping next week of the new trucks I'm skating at the moment 😎

@@LeonPaxton nice looking forward to it

Thanks man, I'll check them out for sure!

Haha yeah I definitely found that out the hard way 😅

Really!? All the parks that I see over there look amazing lol

What’s your ideal wheelbase?

14" I like shaped boards and a lot have bigger wheel base

These are 54mm Spitfire Radials dude 👌🏼

Oh dude, those specs are the best! That's why I loved the 9" Antihero board so much 👌🏼 That sound like the best set up 🙌🏼

@@LeonPaxton it’s because I’m 5”10 and mostly legs and I skate a lot of transition

Oh sick man! It's kind of hard to tell but the trucks seem super stable when he's doing manuals so maybe they could be the Venture's 🤔

@@LeonPaxton Definitely. His lazy looking pop shovits too. I don't think it's the same brands we have today though, but i think your setup there is pretty comporable and they rode some hard 56mm wheels i believe. What size truck are you using? I think it's much to do with that too. A nice wide one that almost fits the board width is the way to go i think. And then just a big wide board with a long nose and tail like how it didn't work when you made the wheelbase longer, because the length of the tail and whole board adds stability much more so than caring too much about wheelbase Edit: Some more info i found if you're interested :) Blind Jason Lee pro model 1991 9.625" x 31.5" 7.0" nose 6.5" kicktail 14.0" wb Ft 9.4" Bt 8.875 9.0" indy trucks 169s Tracker 6 Gullwing pro III shadow 9" Kryptonics star trac 55mm wheels

Yeah he’s such a legend and OG for sure 🙌🏻 Oh damn! So that’s the exact set up he was riding back then?

​​@@LeonPaxton Yeah i found some measurements on his pro model and what they recommended. Seems like older brands and looks like maybe an older indy truck. Maybe stage 4 166s. Since they would probably fit perfectly on the back 8.875" but the hangar looked much thinner than stage 4. Apart from you chasing a longer wb, you're pretty much riding close as can get to this with current brands and parts :) But i wanna add i think wb is only about how it turns. The stability is all about total length and nose and tail length. That 7" nose and 6.5" tail is definitely on the long side and must feel great and stable. Edit: I wanna ride your setup if i can source the parts. You're already riding those stage 4s and that board is pretty much the same stock :o

That's sick, hopefully you can get all the parts together and set up a similar board! That's true, it definitely comes down to what's most comfortable and fun to the individual skater

Same dude!
